Whish Pomegranate Sugar Scrub

Review of Whish Pomegranate Sugar Scrub

By Debra S.

Packaging
The Whish Pomegranate Sugar Scrub smooth plastic tube in white and pink with a wide stripe runningdown the length. The print font is in hand-written style in black onthe front. On the reverse, there is a mixture of font styles and sizesgiving information about the product.

Application

The Whish Pomegranate Body Scrub is a very concentrated formula, which I found difficult to squeezeout of the tube. When wet, it becomes slippery, so is even moredifficult. This thick buttery coloured scrub is oily too, so not veryeasily absorbed, so that quite firm rubbing is necessary. The saltgrains are small for a body scrub, so this does not help either. It feels quite sticky to touch and not very pleasant. It has an unusualsmell, which is slightly reminiscent of red berries and avocado, butsmells more strongly of wax and oil.

Ingredients

It clearly states the ingredients on the reverse as: brown sugar,raspberry seed, bamboo powder, organic shea butter, organic raspberrybutter and organic aloe, with vitamin E extract and organic avocadooil. It also lists other ingredients in the small print, such asbeeswax, organic sunflower oil, carnauba wax, organic pomegranate andperfume. I like the fact that it gives the English and the Latinnames.

Results
It says on the tube of this Whish product that it exfoliates, moisturizes and renews. Iwould say that it is quite effective as a moisturizer, once it hassunk in, but it does not exfoliate well or renew. Overall, I would sayI did not like this product very much and I would not be able to rateit highly.

Pros:

It moisturizes well

Lots of natural organic ingredients are used

Cons:

The packaging of the Whish Pomegranate Sugar Body Scrub looks cheap

Formula is too concentrated and difficult to get out of tube

Formula is too oily to be easily absorbed

Salt grains are too small

Fragrance is unpleasant

It does not exfoliate well
